Introduction: After cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a donor patient, the organs and tissues can be affected by times of cardiac ischemia, affecting the recipient. Therefore, we set ourselves the goal of analyzing and summarizing published material on donation of organs and tissues with the fact that the donor has received cardiopulmonary resuscitation maneuvers.
Methodology: A major bibliographical review of the main national and internacional scientific databases (FAMA, IME, Cuiden®, Scopus, CINAHL®, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and PsycInfo) was carried out over a period of time in 2012 To the year 2016, under criteria of inclusion and exclusión according to the subject studied.
Results: 382 articles in total, of which 360 items were excluded because they did not meet the inclusión criteria. Of these, 22 articles were analyzed. In 14 articles, the benefits of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the donor organ and had been highlighted. Being only in 8 articles that brings harmful information.
Conclusions: The scientific evidence postulates mainly a benefit of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation maneuvers in the donor patient, without involvement in the organs because it increases their Blood perfusion and their oxygenation. However, there is a smaller number of articles that indicates that the fact of performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the donor causes total rejection of organs when the recipient receives it.
